Interesting how cherry picking quotes can push whatever narrative you want. In a different article, it said “while there are advantages to the temporary system, a physical presence…

hmm i’ve thought about this but thought it would be way too expensive. any more details on how you did this? what area do you live in? how much approx was it? you let them in your …

I think he was saying before his 32-hour work week experiment, he was working 7-5

I haven’t had a chance to look through all the links yet but thanks for following up! Will definitely review.

Regarding your first point - any recommendations on articles to read on best practice?

This may be the Apple fanboy in me talking, but I think Apple was in a tough spot- seems like the tMBP has supplied-constrained components (I think it was hard to get in-store even…

There were lots of question on whether they could monetize on mobile when they IPO'd. I think their stock went down 33-50% from their IPO price until they showed they could make th…

Hmm, I've had the watch for about 6 months too. I agree with the review that I rarely switch from the main screen, and almost never use any apps. Charging is a little bit of a pain…

It seems crazy that they would do that, but I thought the same when they got rid of the CD drive on a Mac, included only one port on the Macbook, etc. I know people claim it's to m…

Well, yeah, if the company isn't doing well and leadership changes, obviously that'll trickle down to employees and culture. No one said it'll be like this forever at Netflix, but …

Not in this case, because a lot of business fail in a year or two, and a lot businesses survive for 10, 20+ years. I'll bet there's a lot of '$ made' graphs for entrepreneurs that …

There seems to be so much variance in starting a company that I'm not sure how valid it is to use the 'averages' to create an earnings graph.

Had a similar debate with my girlfriend when she suggested Amazon would take over their entire delivery process. Warehouse to warehouse, and warehouse to major city don't really se…

Why wouldn't they just completely wipe/reset it?

curious-- I do this sometimes (often) too, but how does f.lux help you tear yourself away?

This statement seems to be a general 'complaint' about Apple, rather than specific to the new iPhone models introduced today. How is a fingerprint scanner restricting users' essent…

Not very easy to extrapolate from that, but Blackberry sold 2.7 million of their Z10 and that was considered a failure, so I don't think 20,000 phones will prove anything.

all this is just words on paper right now- a competent marketing team can make any product sound amazing/indispensible. tack on the standard kickstarter/indiegogo delays, and this …

yeah, the thin, light text didn't look great during the presentation, but i can't imagine they wouldn't test it in bright sunlight/normal mobile phone situations, so I'm gonna wait…

I started using LastPass a few years ago- any compelling reasons to switch to 1Password?

how long have you been contracting/how many clients have you had? imo, working for client is way, way worse (in terms of how rewarding and interesting the work is, and work flexibi…
